Mazomanie Village Board Approves Joint EMS Lot Purchase

The Mazomanie Village Board approved a proposal to join the six municipalities of District 1 in purchasing the lot neighbouring the EMS headquarters on Commercial St. While the Village had previously been interested in the property for expanding the Mazomanie Fire Department, issues with the lot’s shared driveway with District 1 and a failure to reach an agreement with the current owner has kept the one-acre property vacant.

Koeller's heroics lift Middleton past Verona

It’s rare when your No. 2 catcher is also one of your two team captains.

Then again, Brad Koeller isn't your typical reserve.

“He's earned the right to be one of our captains,” Middleton baseball Brent Jorgensen said of Koeller. “He brings energy, positivity, toughness, and all the other characteristics you'd want out of a leader on your team.”

Those qualities were in clear view on May 14.

Koeller — thrust into the lineup following an injury to standout catcher Tyler Vogt — delivered one of the biggest hits of Middleton’s season. Koeller ripped a base hit to right field scoring freshman Teddy Kalscheur with two outs in the 12th inning to propel the Cardinals to a 5-4 win over Verona in a marathon affair that lasted 3 ½ hours.

MHS golfers keep breaking records

How low can they go?

Right now, there seems to be almost no number that’s too low for Middleton’s boys golf team to hit.

The No. 1 ranked Cardinals fired a 2-over-par, 290 and won the 15-team Spartan Invite at Blackhawk Country Club on May 4.

Two days later, Middleton shattered that school record by shooting a 4-under-par, 276 at the Janesville Parker Triangular.

“It appears like the guys are peaking at a good time,” Middleton coach Tom Cabalka said.

That’s for sure.

Here’s a recap of the Cardinals’ week.

 

SPARTAN INVITE

Middleton senior Sammy Forslund shot an eye-popping 8-under, 64. That tied the school record held by Kip Sullivan, who shot a 64 at Cold Water Canyon in Wisconsin Dells in 2019.

Forslund made six birdies and shot a 6-under, 30, on the front nine. He then fired a 2-under, 34 on the back nine during his record setting day.
